Give Your AI Agent an Inbox to Screen Job Candidates

Let an AI agent handle initial screening. Your team interviews only the best candidates.

Recruiting teams spend countless hours screening candidates who won't make it past the first interview. For every role, you receive dozens of applications, send screening emails, wait for responses, evaluate answers, and schedule interviews. Most candidates are filtered out early, yet the process consumes recruiter time that could be spent on final-stage interviews and offer negotiations. Afterdraft solves this by giving an AI agent a dedicated inbox to conduct initial candidate screening autonomously.

When a candidate applies, the agent sends a personalized screening email with role-specific questions: technical skills, years of experience, availability, location, salary expectations, or scenario-based challenges. The agent evaluates responses against your qualification criteria, scores each candidate, and decides who advances. Qualified candidates get interview invites automatically. Unqualified candidates receive polite rejections with constructive feedback.

Recruiters see only the candidates who passed screening, complete with response summaries and qualification scores. This reduces time-to-interview, improves candidate experience (fast responses, clear communication), and frees recruiters to focus on high-value conversations instead of repetitive screening emails.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent screen candidates?
The agent sends screening questions via email based on the job description: technical skills, experience level, availability, salary expectations, or scenario-based questions. It evaluates responses against predefined criteria and scores each candidate.
Can the agent conduct multi-round screening?
Yes. The agent can ask initial questions, send follow-up inquiries based on responses, request work samples or portfolio links, and conduct a full asynchronous interview entirely via email before a human ever reviews the candidate.
What happens to candidates who pass screening?
The agent automatically schedules them for interviews with your hiring team, sends calendar invites, and provides a summary of their screening responses. Candidates who don't meet criteria receive a polite rejection email with feedback.
Is the screening process customizable for different roles?
Absolutely. You define screening questions, scoring criteria, and qualification thresholds per job opening. The agent adapts its screening workflow to match the specific requirements of each role.
